Specifying the 'binaryType' attribute?

[METACEO]

Would a developer be able to specify the binaryType attribute of the websocket?.. such as what's noted in the MDN docs?

Could this be an option or does the developer have access to the native Websocket via sockette?

// Create WebSocket connection.
const socket = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8080');
socket.binaryType = 'arraybuffer';

Hey~!

You have access to the underlying WebSocket via event.target on all event listeners. So you can set that attribute within onopen if you want it. I left a tiny example here if you would like a reference. The example was to save a reference to the socket for later use, which may not be necessary in your case.

Ahh, very well!.. I'll include this assignment in the onopen event, thank you!

Awesome!
